Simply..the 'where I'm at' list....

4/9/2014

A random collection of statements I came up with when trying to assess who I am and where I'm at! (See previous post.)

In no particular order, and make of it what you will :-


I can't be an artist without headspace and a lot of alone time.

Can being a calm and peaceful person help the world?

Can butterflies be careful? There have not been many this year and I told one to be careful as it flew out into the open garden! I think I have a habit of asking unanswerable questions.

It takes courage to be free. It takes courage to be oneself.

I will probably always be shy.

Easy is not lazy. Easy is sometimes wise.

I played truant from school. No-one noticed (and no-one knew till now!) I sat on the top of the bus feeling anonymous and free.

Women have a lot of silent power. Maybe the silence is an important part of keeping it.

For better or worse, children are for life, not just for their childhood. In my case totally for the better, but I've seen some not so fortunate...

A hug speaks volumes.

I don't think I like Facebook.

Watching television sometimes feels like living at second hand. Living my own life is exciting and challenging enough for me.

Young people can be charming.

Many old people are an inspiration. My 100 year old friend Angus was among them.

I like public transport (above-ground public transport). It gives me thinking time.


Have you tried writing your Life List yet?

Writing requires a similar amount of peace and alone time. I can now understand why so many writers have a shed in the garden!

Hi Freda
Nice to see you back - you have been missed.

No life list for me - far too introspective.

Very introspective! But I did lots of socialising in my time off too, as you will see...

My mind went blank when I tried. Several times. That then I could let it go says something worthwhile about where I am at in my life just now too I guess. There's a lifetime of learning hidden in your statements and how I love the two questions you pose. Glad to see you back.

How wise not to push it! Clearly the time wasn't right. I wrote mine on a scrap of paper on a bus journey - it just came (the time was right...) It's nice to be back thank you Cath.
